Z-Wave ZME WallC-S2 User manual

Wall Controller WALLC-S2
Quick Start
This remote control has two modes:
•Normal operation for daily use
•Management mode for setup
Pushing all four buttons for 1 sec. turns the device into management mode
(indicated by slow blinking green LED). Management mode time-out is 10 sec. In
factory default mode pushing one of the four buttons for 1 sec will start different
inclusion modes:
•Button 1: Include (add) Wall Controller as secondary controller
•Button 2: Include (add) Wall Controller as secondary controller – non secure
•Button 3: Include (add) new device into Wall Controller network
•Button 4: Include (add) new device into Wall Controller network – non secure
The processes for button 1 and 2 is indicated with fast red/green blinking, the
processes for button 3 and 4 shows a fast green blinking. Every button push stops
the process. This fast inclusion only works when device is in factory default.
Once one device is included or the Wall Controller is included as secondary
controller further inclusion and exclusion operation require to turn the device into
management mode:
•Button 1: Include or exclude the device as secondary controller
•Button 2: Issue Wake Up Notification and send out Node Information Frame
•Button 3 followed by short click on button 1: Start secure inclusion
•Button 3 followed by short click on button 2: Start unsecure inclusion
•Button 3 followed by short click on button 3: Start exclusion
•Button 3 followed by short click on button 4: Start primary handover
Attention: For convenience reasons some special short cut apply IF and only and
only IF the Wall Controller is the primary controller of the network. The first
device included into a button group will define the commands sent out by this
group regardless of the default value of the configuration parameters 11-14. If the
device is a door lock the button group will turn into door lock control (value=7). For
dimmers and motor controls the value changes into Multilevel Switch Control
(value=1). All other devices will turn the button group into Basic Control (value=2).
All configuration values can be changed if needed. When the Wall Controller is
primary controller the very first device included will be automatically put into
button group A and the command set will change according to the rules just
mentioned. All other devices need to be put in button groups manually.
Product Description
The wireless Wall Controller is a 4
button Z-Wave device capable to act
both as primary or secondary
controller. The four buttons can
control other Z-Wave devices such
as switches, dimmer and even door
locks directly. Various options –
configurable by Z-Wave configuration
commands – define the actions and the
commands used for this control. It is
possible to use two sets of buttons
(one for on/open/up and one for
off/closed/down) or four single buttons
to control four different groups of
devices.
The controller also allows triggering scenes in a central controller. Again different
modes can be configured to adapt to the various implementations of scenes in
different central controllers in the market. Control options also include special modes
like „all on/off“ or always controlling the Z-Wave device in proximity to the controller.
The device supports secure communication when included with enhanced
security option and when communicating to a device also supporting enhanced
security option. Otherwise the device will automatically turn into normal
communication to maintain backward compatibility.
Installation Guidelines
The device comes ready to use with a battery already installed. Just pull the plastic
strip to activate the device. The device can be mounted on every dry and flat surface
using either screws or double side adhesive. First the mounting base is fixed on the
wall. Next step the switch frame is placed on the 2 frame and the electronic insert is
used to fi x the frame to the mounting base as shown on the image. Finally the
switching paddle(s) are mounted on the electronic base.
For battery change, the switching paddle(s) need to be removed. The CR battery
can be replaced by pushing the little nipple above the battery. The old battery will
slide out and the new battery is inserted until the nipple will hold it again.
The device can be operated in two different modes:
•Operation mode: This is the mode where the device is controlling other
devices.
•Management Mode: The device is turned into the management mode by
pushing all four buttons for one second. A blinking LED indicates the
management mode. In the management mode buttons of the device have
different functions. If no further action is performed the device will turn back to
the normal mode after 10 seconds. Any management action terminates the
management mode as well.
In management mode the following actions can be performed:
•Button 1 – Inclusion/Exclusion: Every inclusion or exclusion attempt is
confirmed by hitting this button. Single click is used for standard inclusion and
exclusion, double click is used for network wide inclusion. With this operation
the device can be included into a Z-Wave network from any physical location in
the network. This requires a primary controller supporting network wide
inclusion. This mode lasts for 20 seconds and stops automatically. Any button
press stops the mode as well.
•Button 2: Sends Node Information Frame and Wake Up Notification (see
explanation below).
•Button 3: Activates the primary controller management menu. The following
sub menu items are available:
Button 3 followed by short click on button 1: Start Secure Inclusion
(Add)
Button 3 followed by short click on button 2: Start Unsecure Inclusion
(Add)
Button 3 followed by short click on button 3: Start Exclusion
(Remove)
Button 3 followed by short click on button 4: Start Primary Handover
Button 3 followed by pushing button 4 for 5 seconds: Factory Default
Reset.
After clicking on button 3 keep button 4 pushed for 4 seconds.
•Button 4: Enters into association mode to assign target devices to one of the
four associations. Refer to the manual‘s section about association for more
information how to set and unset association groups.
In factory default mode pushing one of the four buttons for 1 second will start
different inclusion modes:
•Button 1: Include Wall Controller as secondary controller
•Button 2: Include Wall Controller as secondary controller – non secure
•Button 3: Include new device into Wall Controller network
•Button 4: Include new device into Wall Controller network – non secure
The process for button 1 and 2 is indicated with fast red/green blinking, the process
for button 3 and 4 shows a fast green blinking. Every button push stops the process.
This fast inclusion only works when device is in factory default.
Attention: For convenience reasons some special short cut apply IF and only IF the
Wall Controller is the primary controller of the network: The first device included
into a button group will define the commands sent out by this group regardless of
the default value of the configuration parameters 11-14. If the device is a door lock
the button group will turn into door lock control (value=7). For dimmers and motor

controls the value changes into Multilevel Switch Control (value=1). All other devices
will turn the button group into Basic Control (value=2). All configuration values can be
changed if needed.
When the Wall Controller is primary controller the very first device included will be
automatically put into button group A and the command set will change according to
the rules just mentioned. All other devices need to be put in button groups manually.
Factory Reset
The device can be set back to factory defaults without performing an
exclusion process. Please execute the following steps:
1. Turn the device into management mode
2. Click on button 3
3. Keep button 4 pushed for 10 seconds. For first 5 seconds the green LED
will blink, then it turns into long-red/short-green blinking until reset is
complete.
Please use this procedure only if the device is secondary controller and
the primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.
Behavior within the Z-Wave network
On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device
needs to join an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this
network. This process is called Inclusion. Devices can also leave a network. This
process is called Exclusion. Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of
the Z-Wave network. This controller will be turned into exclusion respective inclusion
mode. Please refer to your primary controller’s manual on how to turn your controller
into inclusion or exclusion mode. Only if the primary controller is in inclusion or
exclusion mode, this device can join or leave the network. Leaving the network – i.e.
being excluded – sets the device back to factory default. If the device already
belongs to a network, follow the exclusion process before including it in your
network. Otherwise inclusion of this device will fail. If the controller being included
was a primary controller, it has to be reset first.
Please check the instructions in the quick start section how to include and exclude
the device from a network.
Operating the Device
Depending on the button mode and operating modes configured using the
configuration parameters the Wall Controller can be used in different ways.
Button Modes
4 Groups are controlled with single button (parameter 1/2 = 0)
The four buttons 1-4 control one single control group each: 1→A, 2→B, 3→C, 4→D.
Single click turns devices in the control group on, double click turns them off. Click
and hold can be used for dimming.
2 Groups are controlled with two buttons (parameter 1/2 = 1)
The buttons 1 and 3 control the control group A (button 1 turns on, button 3 turns
off), the buttons 2 and 4 control the control group B (button 2 turns on, button 4 turns
off). In case dimmers are controlled, holding down the larger button will dim up,
holding down the smaller button will dim down the load. Releasing the button will
stop the dimming function.
4 Groups are controlled with two buttons and double click (parameter 1/2 = 2)
This mode enhances the previous mode and allows to control two further control
groups C and D using double clicks. The devices supports 8 different operating
modes – this means the kind of commands sent out when pushing a button.
Operating modes either directly control other devices or they issue various scene
activation commands to a central controller.
The device supports 8 different operating modes – this means the kind of
commands sent out when pushing a button. Operating modes either directly control

controller.
The device supports 8 different operating modes – this means the kind of
commands sent out when pushing a button. Operating modes either directly control
other devices or they issue various scene activation commands to a central
controller.
Operating modes for direct device control are:
•Direct control of associated devices with On/Off/Dim commands
(parameter 11...14 = 1). Devices are controlled using Basic Set On/Off
commands and Switch-Multilevel Dim Start/Stop. This mode implements
communication pattern 7.
•Direct control of associated devices with only On/Off commands
(parameter 11...14 = 2). Devices are controlled using only Basic Set On/Off
commands. On dimming Up event On is sent, on dimming Down Off is sent.
This mode also implements communication pattern 7.
•Switch-All commands (parameter 11...14 = 3). In this mode all neighboring
devices will receive Switch-All set On/Off command and interpret it according to
their membership in Switch-All groups. This mode implements communication
pattern 7.
•Direct control of devices in proximity (parameter 11...14 = 6). Basic Set and
Switch-Multilevel Dim commands are sent to a device in proximity (50...100 cm)
from the controller. Attention: In case there are more than one Z-Wave devices
nearby all these devices may be switched. For this reason the proximity function
should be handled with care. This mode implements communication pattern 7.
•Door lock control (parameter 11...14 = 7). This mode allows direct control
(open/close) of electronic door locks using secure communication. The mode
implements communication pattern 7.
Operating modes for scene activation are:
•Direct activation of preconfigured scenes (parameter 11...14 = 5).
Associated devices in an association group are controlled by individual
commands defined by Z-Wave command class „Scene Controller
Configuration“. This mode enhances mode direct control of associated devices
with On/Off/Dim commands and implements communication patterns 6 and 7.
Please turn the button mode to „separate“ to allow different a scene ID on every
button.
•Scene activation in IP gateway (parameter 11...14 = 4). If configured
correctly the buttons can trigger a scene in a gateway. The scene number
triggered is a combination of the group number and the action performed on the
button and has always two digits. The group number defines the upper digit of
the scene number, the action the lower digit.
•The following actions are possible:
1 On | 2 = Off | 3 = Dim Up Start | 4 = Dim Down Start | 5 = Dim Up Stop | 6 =
Dim Down Stop
Example: Clicking/double clicking the button will issue scene triggers, scene 11
(button 1 click, event on), scene 12 (button double click 1, event off, single
button control is used in this example)
•Activation of central scenes (parameter 11...14 = 8, default). Z-Wave Plus
introduces a new process for scene activation – the central scene control.
Pushing a button and releasing a button send a certain command to the central
controller using the lifeline association group. This allows reacting both on
button push and button release. This mode implements communication patterns
6 but requires a central gateway supporting
Z-Wave Plus.
Child Protection
The device can be turned into a child protection mode. In this mode all local
operation is disabled.
The child protection mode MUST be turned on wirelessly. However in protected by
sequence mode it is possible to unlock the device for local operation by pressing
any button within 5 seconds. The unlock-state will last for 5 seconds.
Wake Up Intervals
This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the time to
save battery life time. Communication with the device is limited. In order to
communicate with the device, a static controller C is needed in the network. This
controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery operated devices and store
commands that can’t be received during deep sleep state. Without such a controller,
communication may become impossible and/or the battery life time is significantly
decreased.
This device will wake up regularly and announce the wake up state by sending out a
so-called Wake Up Notification. The controller can then empty the mailbox.
Therefore, the device needs to be configured with the desired wake up interval and
the node ID of the controller. If the device was included by a static controller this
controller will usually perform all necessary configurations. The wake up interval is a
tradeoff between maximal battery life time and the desired responses of the device.
The device will stay awake right after inclusion for 10 seconds allowing the controller
to perform certain configuration. It is possible to manually wake up the device by
pushing button 2 in management mode. The minimum allowed wake up time is 240s
but it is strongly recommended to define a much longer interval since the only
purpose of a wake up should be the reporting of the battery status or an update of
the child protection settings. The device has a periodic wake up function however
this function is disabled by the configuration parameter #25. This will protect the
battery in case the controller is accidently configuring a wake up interval. A wake up
of the Wall Controller outside the range of the controller will lead to lots of
unsuccessful communication attempts draining the battery. Defining node ID of 0 as
a destination of the Wake Up Notification will disable the periodical wake up function
as well.
It is possible to set the node ID to 255 to send Wake Up Notifications as broadcast.
In this mode device takes more time to go to sleep and drains battery faster, but can
notify all its direct neighbors about a wake up.

Node Information Frame
The Node Information Frame (NIF) is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It
contains information about the device type and the technical capabilities. The
inclusion and exclusion of the device are confirmed by sending out a Node
Information Frame. Beside this it may be needed for certain network operations to
send out a Node Information Frame. Pressing button 2 in management mode will
issue a Node Information Frame.

Associations
Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device
controlling another device is called association. In order to control a different device,
the controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive controlling
commands. These lists are called association groups and they are always related to
certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, ...). In case the event happens
all devices stored in the respective association group will receive a common wireless
command.
Association Groups
1
Lifeline (max. nodes in group: 10)
2
Control Group A, controlled by button 1 or single clicks of buttons 1 and
3 (max. nodes in group: 10)
3
Control Group B, controlled by button 2 or single clicks of buttons 2 and
4 (max. nodes in group: 10)
4
Control Group C, controlled by button 3 or double clicks of buttons 1 and
3 (max. nodes in group: 10)
5
Control Group D, controlled by button 4 or double clicks of buttons 2 and
4 (max. nodes in group: 10)
Set and unset associations to actuators
Associations can be assigned and remove either via Z-Wave commands or using
the device itself. To control a Z-Wave device from the Wall Controller the node ID of
this device needs to be assigned to one of the four association groups. This is a
three-step process:
1. Turn the Wall Controller into management mode and hit button 4 within 10
sec. (LED is blinking green when management mode is reached).
2. Within 10 sec. push the button you like the Z-Wave actuator to be assigned
with. After 10 sec. the device goes back to sleep. Single click means adding
to this association group, double click means removing the node selected in
step (3) from this association group.
3. Find the Z-Wave actuator you like to control by the Wall Controller. Hit the
button on the device to issue a Node Information Frame within 20 sec. A
common way is hitting a control button one or three times. Please consult the
manual of the device to be controlled for more information how to issue a
Node Information Frame. Any button press on Wall Controller at this stage
will terminate the process.
Special Functions as Z-Wave Controller
As long as this device is not included into a Z-Wave network of a different controller
it is able to manage its own Z-Wave network as primary controller. As a primary
controller the device can include and exclude other devices in its own network,
manage associations, and reorganize the network in case of problems.
The following controller functions are supported:
Include (Add) other device in own network
Communication between two Z-Wave devices only works if both belong to the same
wireless network. Joining a network is called inclusion and is initiated by a controller.
The controller needs to be turned into the inclusion mode. Once in this inclusion
mode the other device needs to confirm the inclusion – typically by pressing a
button. For Inclusion of Z-Wave devices into the own network the following two
things have to be considered:
•In factory-default state only: Hit button 3 (secure) or button 4 (normal) to turn
the controller into inclusion status. Consult the manual of the new device how to
start the inclusion process.
•Always: Turn into management mode by pressing all four buttons for 5 seconds.
The green LED will start blinking slowly. Now hit button 3 to activate the primary
controller functions. The green LED will blink faster. Now hit button 1 (secure) or
button 2 (normal) to turn the controller into inclusion state. Consult the manual
of the new device how to start the inclusion process.
If current primary controller in your network is in special SIS mode this and any other
secondary controller can also include and exclude devices. To become primary a
controller have to be reset and then include a device.
Exclude (Remove) device from network
The primary controller can exclude (remove) devices from the Z-Wave network.
During exclusion the relationship between the device and the network of this
controller is terminated. No communication between the device and other devices
still in the network can happen after a successful exclusion. The controller needs to
be turned into the exclusion mode. Once in this exclusion mode the other device
needs to confirm the exclusion – typically by pressing a button.
Attention: Removing a device from the network means that it is turned back into
factory default status. This process can also exclude devices from its previous
network.
Turn into management mode by pressing all four buttons for 5 seconds. The green
LED will start blinking slowly. Now hit button 3 to activate the primary controller
functions. The green LED will blink faster. Now hit button 3 again to turn the
controller into exclusion status. Consult the manual of the new device how to start
the exclusion process.
Shift primary role to a different controller
The device can hand over its primary role to another controller and become
secondary controller. Turn into management mode by pressing all four buttons for 5
seconds. The green LED will start blinking slowly. Now hit button 3 to activate the
primary controller functions. The green LED will blink faster. Now hit button 4 to turn
the controller into primary shift mode. Consult the manual of the new device how to
start the primary shift process for the new primary controller.
